Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown

Pessoal, com muita dor no coração vou ter que falar a verdade, sou muito fã da franquia, joguei muito o 1 e principalmente o 2 que é meu favorito, e pra ser sincero são os únicos jogos de corrida que joguei pois no geral perco o interesse rápido em jogos que se resumem apenas em corridas aleatórias, e a franquia test drive sempre foi mais do que correr, era uma experiencia de vida focada em corridas, era muito legar comprar carros, casas e desbravar o mapa, lembro também que para comprar carros legais de nível superior e participar de novas corridas nestas categorias era necessário o teste de habilitação para as categorias, tudo isso foi removido e o jogo se tornou extremamente genérico, onde de cara já saímos com super carros sem sentimento nenhum de merecimento ou a satisfação de suar para conseguir um super carro, caímos de paraquedas em um mapa gigante onde o único objetivo é correr em corridas aleatórias e subir de nivel, e pelo que vi em outras analises o jogo não passa disso, não tem vida nenhuma, muito longe de test drive, creio que este jogo foi o ultimo prego no caixão de mais uma ótima franquia, e o pior de tudo é que não existe mais os dois primeiros jogos para comprar para Pc em lugar nenhum. Obs. pelo menos o desempenho esta bom.

Это какая-то лотерея, никогда не знаешь залогинишься в игре или нет! Отдельное спасибо за то, что нельзя из игры выйти если нет связи с серверами. Отличное решение!

J'ai attendu longtemps avant d'évaluer le jeu car j'ai eu grand espoir que le jeu évolu dans le bon sens, mais même avec 2 ans attente et de très bonne chose en jeu, de très bon ajout, le soucis c'est qu'il a plus apporté de mauvaise chose avec le temps. Etant un fan des opus Tes drive Unlimited, j'avoue que l'arrivé de cette opus avec une equipe connaissant TDU, j'etais ravi, l'arrivé de playtest, d'annonce,.... j'etais ravi, mais se fut la douche froide. Les points positif: les graphismes qui sont certes pas les meilleurs du moment mais très beau, les vehicules sont très bien détaillé, des détails comme la pression des pneus, couleur de chauffe des disques de frein,... quand on touche au reglage. La map en taille 1:1, la conduite des vehicules full origine qui sont excellent. ET ... c'est tout , l'ajout avec le temps de mission de livraison, de suivi, de course, du casino sont arrivé trop tardivement, avec toujours la meme chose sans variante, un IA horrible, de bug. Les points negatifs: le jeu reste vide, IA pas génial, les concessions sont vide d'interet et sont tout "froide" contrairement aux anciens opus où l'on arrivait avec une cinématique et toutes les voitures etaient là avec une vue sur l'exterieur, les ateliers ne sont pas des ateliers, mais juste un hall exposion futuriste sans interet, amelioration des vehicules sont ridicule avec des upgrade qui dénature les vehicules avec du x4, x5 voir plus du vehicule, avec une conduite totalement gaché en allant sur du arcade a la Forza, ou NFS avec des vitesses ridiculement irréaliste contrairement aux anciens opus ou c'etait du débridage et juste une option non obligatoire car oui sur TDU SC c'est OBLIGATOIRE de tuner sont vehicule sinon impossible de faire les courses. L'arrivé du tuning, plaque futuriste, klaxon, aileron, j'ai l'impression d'etre dans un GTA au LS custom ^^, meme si je n'y touche pas car les prix sont ridiculement élevé. Il y a Ibiza aussi pour les nostalgiques mais juste la ville, donc en balade tranquille d'un bout a l'autre 3 min avant de dépasser les limites de la carte, cela m'a fait pensé a Driver 1, quand on fini le jeu on a acces a une ville bonus, une carte toute petite Newcastle ^^. MAIS, je pense le pire c'est l'ajout de la boutique en ligne et de leurs systement de pass,.... Dans les anciens opus il n'y en avait pas, c'etait du DLC, et dans le jeu on prennait le temps, et il y avait toujours une chose a faire, jamais ennuyé, là c'est le contraire, toujours un truc a faire mais faut le faire rapidement le fameux FOMO, sinon tu devras payer avec des €€€ pour l'avoir, le season pass pareil deja que les concessions sont vide mais quand il y a ajout de vehicule c'est du recyclage ou des vehicules payant, donc pas en concession, surtout que ceux sont de vehicule meta pour la plupart donc Pay to win et Pay to Play, on arrive a un systeme en jeu digne d'un jeu Free to play sauf que le jeu on l'a payé plein pot, alors devoir payé 60/100€ par an pour un jeu deja payé, non merci sinon je serai allé chez EA pour cela. Les avatars sont moche, vetement pas interessant ou futuriste, tout le monde se ressemble, sur les 700H passé en jeu, +50H sur l'ecran menu car probleme serveurs, et j'ai du jouer que 10H avec d'autre joueurs car le reste c'est du solo, parceque etre en groupe c'est compliqué entre les regions, probleme de sychro, impossibilité de jouer du classé (mode PVP)... on se retrouve a jouer en solo, le online n'a aucun interet. Un jeu a tres tres fort potentiel avec une license incroyable, mais a vouloir faire comme tout le monde et vouloir plaire a tout le monde, on se loupe, ils n'ont pas lu les retours des playtest, ils nous on caché le theme meme du jeu qui était voué a l'echec, beaucoup de chose manquante a la sortie, aujourd'hui ils essayent de corrigé au fils des saisons mais c'est trop tard, en plus c'est avec l'argent des joueurs. a la sortie du jeu il y a 2 ans je lui donnais 4/20 dans sa globalité, aujourd'hui a peine 7/20, la monnaitisation a tout gaché. Peut etre que le jeu sera mieux dans le futur mais cela sera trop tard je le crains.

For $10 I figured I'd give it a try. Somehow it runs worse than the beta when the game first came out. How does a 2 year old game still crash multiple times on the first race? Its not like I have a potato PC. Refunding, not even worth $10, still.

Dont you dare to buy it

At the moment of writing this review, 26/07/2026, I can not recomend this game in the current state. I know about the negative reception of this game but as someone who enjoyed both other TDU games I decided to bite the bullet and get in while it was on sale. However the issues with this game with my 2 hours of playing are enough to advise anyone interested in it to pass for now. It started with the first cutscene after creating my character where there were textures glitching out and all I could see was a giant black alien ball thing which also ended with the cutscene freezing and having to use task manager to end the proccess. But even when I made it through the tutorial I have been plagued with constant freezes. Some happen withing 10 minutes others within 30 minutes but all of them result in the game freezing/locking up but still hearing the radio in the background. I've tried updating my drivers, verifiying my files, lowering my graphic settings, turning off any form of upscaling, turning off frame generation, even turning off my microphone and putting the default voice chat section on group (read some post that said to do that) but to no avail. I can't even get to the real meat that this game has to offer because of it. So as of right now this game, to me, is unplayable and should be avoided at all costs. If this ever gets fixed, which I doubt, and I find the urge to play it again I will update my review but right now it is a big fat NO to the question if this is a worthy but

Soo TDU Solar Crown. This one gets alot of hate ... but i believe in its current state (with the big world rework in season 5) with all its content it definately has a spot beside all the other games of this genre! It does many things that others dont even think of - and it does it pretty good! Like you can drive uber with dynamicaly generated missions and rarities (really cool feature). The handling on a wheel is pretty decent too! It even has matching rotation lock (aka putting the game on 540 degree on a 900 degree wheel locks at 540 degree so you cant oversteer into nothing) and force feedback is decent too! Cars sound good - even simulating windows up/down sounds in cockpit! Performance is not great but absolutely playable and enjoyable with nearly no stutters at around 60 fps on a lower end gpu using dlss. What was not good was the first hour of fiddling around from account creation (took too long to get the verification email) to searching for driving assist adjustments (under cars?!). But overall its not a bad game! What i dont understand though is their price increase for season passes with season 7 in about a month. This game needs no price increases - it needs a soft reset (making past season rewards all available including the pre-order car) and stop fomo! They have to make it easier for new players to give it a shot - and not to give them more reasons to stay away! If the devs come around and season 7 hitting good - this can absolutely have its comeback! Recommended on deep sale like right now! Go get in here :-)

I really wanna love this title, however this game is still so poorly optimized that the only way it'll look good is if you max out the settings which then will turn your room into a sauna. You can lower the settings but then the game will look washed out and it gets a lot of ghosting and latency due to frame gen plus your PC still gets fairly hot (69c). It's a shame cuz the game does a lot of little things right like you gotta earn the cars in your garage, the world is a wonder to cruise around in and explore, the sense of speed is better than any other racer I've played, races are fairly challenging, the rewards aren't outrageous low or high and there's no wheelspin. I love the little interaction you can do like using the indicators, roll the windows and top down, actually enter the dealership, pop the hood, open the doors and the best part, test drive the car before buying! (All car games needs this) And then you pick the color, interior and rims, again it's all simple things that does a ton to make each and every purchase feel special. One last thing, I really love how you tap the accelerator just once to turn on the car, hear it roar or beeb (EV) in all its glory and if you tap it again it will move along slowly like an actual car would. For most ppl this might sound stupid but for a car dweep like myself this is friggin legendary! One Minus for me is that you can't use the carputer in the interior view as navigation like you could in TDU2 and then there's the obvious lag of lifestyle sim like no crips to buy and the casino straight up sucks with only slot machines to play with. But I'll be real here, I can forgive those shortcomings. Sure they all suck but they aren't gamebreaking flaws.. the optimization however is. And that is unfortunately why I can't recommend this title. It's heartbreaking really.
